She really opened my mind up to new ideas with my photos. That's just what I needed. She is truly talented, and I'm going to make it a point to remember all the advice she gave while I was with her." - Julie K, Nov 2011 Private workshop at Lake Tahoe "Very down to earth. I had an incredible experience with Niobe. She has such a wonderful energy. One thing that struck me was that she was down to earth and very approachable... I knew that I could ask any question, no matter how silly!! - Melanie, Aug 2011 Lake Tahoe Photo workshop "Great energy! Niobe is a pleasure to work with and learn from. She's sensitive to what individuals are looking for out of a class, and also interested in group needs as well. I think I would've liked more group exercises, however, as opposed to letting to my own creative devices since I was new to my camera equipment. " - Lori Matthews, Womens Wilderness Institute, Boulder Colorado, Aug 2010 "Wonderful Class. I thoroughly enjoyed the Women's Wilderness Institute Outdoor Photography class. Niobe is an awesome instructor, very knowledgeable about photography and she has great skill in communicating concepts in an understandable way for us beginners. She worked with all the participants one on one with our cameras. I learned a lot about my camera and how to use light and compose interesting shots. I'd recommend this course for anyone who is interested in learning more about outdoor photography." - Kim Sappington, Womens Wilderness workshop, August 2009 "Excellent Woman and Teacher, Pros: Helpful, Engaging, Encouraging, Smart, Patient, Funny, Fun, Good communicator, Great Value." - Roberta Andreoli, Rome, Womens Wilderness workshop, August 2009 " This tour and acccommadations were above and beyond my expectations. I have fallen in love wiht photography all over again!" - Priscilla Repko, Aug 2011 workshop |
